BOTH Wrexham and in-form striker Marc Williams will hope to keep it going against high-flying Chesterfield tonight.

The Dragons ended a six-match losing streak on Saturday with a 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Lincoln City thanks to a stunning strike from Williams, and manager Brian Carey is hoping to see his charge continue in the same vein.

The win, only Wrexham’s second in League Two this campaign, saw them move off the foot of the table and out of the relegation places.

And while Carey admits tonight’s encounter with the fourth-placed Spireites is going to be tough, he was confident his side have turned a corner.

“Chesterfield have started well this season and have got a good blend of youth and experience,” said Carey. “They have bought well over the summer, but we have to concentrate on ourselves.

“We can’t worry about the opposition, we have to continue from where we left off on Saturday.”

Wrexham have found goals this season hard to come by, and have notched just five in the league so far this campaign.

And it is this lack of firepower up front that has seen Wrexham lose by the odd goal in the majority of their matches.

Williams, 19, has got two strikes in his last two starts for the club and Carey acknowledged the youngster had taken his chance to impress while forwards Chris Llewellyn and Michael Proctor were both on the sidelines through suspensions.

Carey said: “Two goals in his last two starts and the secret for Marc is to continue in that vein.

“But that’s how it is for the rest of the lads as well. We’ve got players waiting to come back into the side, but if the players on the pitch are winning games then they will continue.

“Marc is more than capable of scoring goals, he’s getting in there and getting the chances. He has got to keep on working hard and make sure he takes the opportunities when they come along.”

Williams himself admitted it was nice to get an extended run in the side, but was realistic he might get pushed out when more senior players return to action.

“I’ve started the last two and got a couple of goals and I’m happy with that,” he said.

“Chris (Llewellyn) is back and we’ll have to wait and see, but it would be nice to be involved. If I am, then hopefully I can get another goal and put in another good performance.”

Carey employed a different formation on Saturday against Lincoln, and while he would not give anything away for tonight’s game, he did admit the new 3-5-2 system suited the Dragons’ style of play.

“It was partly enforced really,” he added. “But it allowed Mark Jones to get into the game more and Mark is one of our better players and capable of scoring goals.

“He looked a lot more dangerous on Saturday, but every time he got into a position to go for goal he got fouled.”

Carey added: “We got the goal on Saturday and that was a huge difference. But the overall performance was good, I think we looked a lot more solid and there was a lot more energy in a lot of different positions around the pitch. We just need to continue that tomorrow night.”

Meanwhile, Mark Jones and Steve Evans have both been called up to John Toshack’s Wales squad to take on both Cyprus on October 13 and then San Marino four days later.

Young defender Neil Taylor has also been called up to Brian Flynn’s under-19s squad for their Uefa European Championship qualifier, with their third game of a mini-three game tournament being staged on Saturday, October 13.

This now leaves Carey with the option of calling off the League Two encounter at Macclesfield Town on that date.
